My name is Laura Burroughs and I am super excited to be your Parent Educator for Fillmore Centrals ECFE program! I live on a little hobby farm outside of Preston, MN with my husband Cody, and our three children; Nora (5), Waylon (3), and Stetson (1). We enjoy going on picnics together and finding new playgrounds to play at. We also enjoy just hanging out on the farm with all of our animals. Family time is a must in our household.

Prior to ECFE, I was a stay at home mother for 4 years. I attended Western Technical College and earned a diploma for Medical Assistant. While I was in college I worked as a home care aide at St. Charles Assisted Living and I also helped coach 4th – 6th grade girls’ basketball at the Houston Elementary School. I was the president of the Money Creek Livewires 4H Club back in 2009. During my time in 4H, I assisted with and coordinated events. I also enjoyed volunteering at the Houston Community Garden.

Parenting is an adventure, and although challenging, is very rewarding. We all have unique situations and more often than not it is best to not face these alone, a proper support net can be crucial. I look forward to utilizing my resources and us putting our minds together to help each other better navigate the waters of parenthood
